On Friday, following President Trump's announcement that the US would pull out of the Paris climate deal, White House press secretary Sean Spicer and EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt dodged reporters' questions asking whether Trump still thinks climate change is a hoax.

"As I indicated, several times through the process, there's enough to deal with respect to the Paris agreement and making an informed decision about this important issue, and that's what our focus has been over the last several weeks. I've answered the question a couple times," Pruitt said, before quickly moving on to another reporter's question.

When asked about his own views on climate change, Pruitt said he thinks "global warming is occurring, human activity contributes to it, in some matter."

Pruitt said he and Trump have not discussed whether or not he still thinks climate change is a hoax.

Spicer also said he had "not had an opportunity to have that discussion" with Trump.

"I think Administrator Pruitt pointed out that what the president is focusing on is clean water, clean air and best deal for the American workers," said Spicer.

This followed a tense exchange between Pruitt and CNN's Jake Tapper on Thursday. When asked point-blank whether the president believes in climate change, Pruitt dodged again, saying it's "not about whether climate change is occurring or not."

Pruitt and Spicer aren't the only top Trump aides dodging that question this week. On Thursday, Trump's chief economic advisor Gary Cohn wouldn't say whether or not the president believes in climate change. "You're going to have to ask him," he said.

And on Friday, Kellyanne Conway was asked three times whether or not he believes in global warming, and dodged all three times. On the third time, she responded, "You should ask him that."

Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke said he doesn't believe climate change is a hoax, but could not say whether or not Trump does, and said he hadn't asked him. "I do not speak for the president," he said.
